Tackle Hong Kong’s summer heat with a delicious selection of ice cream sundaes by Pastry Chef Gregoire Michaud at The Lounge at Four Seasons Hotel Hong Kong.

Available from July 1 to September 30, 2012, Michaud has created a variety of five, elegant summer sundaes including one which won’t leave a pang of guilt for fear of the next junk trip. The Waist Not is a combination of blueberry frozen yoghurt, malt crumble, cassis marshmallow and vanilla Madeleine to satisfy those with a sweet tooth but a calorie conscious mind. Its antithesis is the Devil’s Dare; an indulgent treat of chocolate ice cream, dark chocolate sauce, opera cake and finished with a cocoa bean crisp – the perfect post work-out delight!

Verging on including all of your ‘five a day’ and a very tropical affair, Michaud’s Tutti Fruiti combines a classic vanilla ice cream with different textures of mango, pineapple, hazelnut and lime. Representing the Far East, the Oriental Zing is a tangy and refreshing cocktail of yuzu ice cream, black cherry, Tahitian vanilla Chantilly and topped with a cornflake cookie. Chef Michaud’s final creation is an ode to Europe and the country of the summer: an English Garden will transport the mind and palate to an idyllic cottage patio on the edge of a vegetable patch with fresh mint ice cream, honey-hibiscus flower, marinated strawberries and churros. If England is not on your travel list this summer, let The Lounge be the place you savour the flavours of Queen and Country!
